    Hi all.

    Long fascinated by racing games, I've finally managed to save up some money to buy a motion simulator. Could you recommend one that offers the best value for the money? I'm looking to play Forza Horizon 4, 5, as well as The Crew. Perhaps later, I will play something more serious

    My Motion Simulator:
    3DOF, DC motor, JRK
    Value for money relates to a whole bunch of variables and personal preferences, so why not start with some basics, what is your budget for a rig, excluding any peripherals, and physical space for a motion rig, including height if a 6DOF is being considered?

    It would be worth your time doing some research in the Commercial thread section, to see if anything in particular grabs your fancy: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/forums/commercial-simulators-and-peripherie.52/

    Thank you for the information and the right direction! Although I was hoping to get some popular ready-made setup examples :) Well, let's explore the commercial section. Thanks!
